After one year in Early Access, Tavern Legends officially leaves Early Access today and reaches Version 1.0!
The release update introduces new locations, systems, plants, drinks, quests, and numerous improvements.
Tavern Inspector
Approximately once a week, an inspector will visit your tavern and evaluate your business.
Cleanliness, service, dirty dishes, as well as discipline and order affect your final result. At the end of the inspection, you will receive a rating that shows how well your tavern is being managed and positively or negatively affects your Fame!
The higher your Fame becomes, the more difficult it will be to maintain it!
The Fame system has also been adjusted so that your tavern now starts at 0 Fame, making progression more challenging.
New Lighting Settings
The main lighting of each tavern can now be adjusted individually.
Change the brightness and colour temperature to create the perfect atmosphere for each tavern.
From a warm and cosy inn to a brightly illuminated dining room or a magical blue atmosphere!
The general lighting has also been improved to provide an even better visual experience.
The "Golden Chicken" Casino
A new casino has opened in the town.
Complete a new questline, gain access to the Golden Chicken, and try your luck at roulette.
Take an evening off and earn your gold in a different way... or lose it!
Moon Mushrooms and Moon Juice
Why create elaborate meals with Moon Mushrooms when you can simply throw them into the juice press?
Process the glowing blue mushrooms into Moon Juice and serve the new drink to your guests.
The effect remains the same: Moon Juice makes guests especially happy and generous with their tips, but it can also make them considerably more aggressive!
The Farming Update
You can now unlock a beautiful backyard for your house through a new bank project!
Place planter boxes there and grow your own vegetables. When watered regularly, the plants will grow twice as fast.
Mushrooms can now also be grown directly inside your tavern using special mushroom farms.
New Reservations and Larger Weddings
Four new reservation types have been added, and weddings can now include significantly more guests. A groom now officially attends wedding reservations as well.
Progression and Completion
Your tavern now starts at Fame 0 and develops step by step.
New tavern stars display your current Fame status. Tavern Legends can now also be officially completed, but you can, of course, continue managing and expanding your taverns afterward.
Further Improvements
The game now offers three preset playstyles at the beginning: "Cozy, Normal, and Crazy." These affect the entire gameplay experience but can also be adjusted individually during the game.
The cleaning system has been reworked: Dirt on tables now disappears progressively while wiping instead of being removed instantly.
A tutorial archive, a setting for the maximum number of active orders, reworked workers, numerous UI improvements, and many other adjustments have also been added.
The appearance of your workers is now permanently saved, so you will no longer have to get used to a new hairstyle every time you load the game.
Numerous Bug Fixes
In addition to the new content, numerous issues involving workers, guests, lighting, inventories, storage, dirt detection, pathfinding, and the user interface have been fixed.
Thank you to all players who supported Tavern Legends throughout Early Access, provided feedback, and reported bugs.
Important Notice
The total amount of beer tapped so far will be reset to zero, giving every player an equal chance to reach the Top 10 of the Beer Leaderboard.
Your save files have not been deleted. Existing taverns and progress remain fully intact and are compatible with the release version.
Due to the new progression system, starting a new game is recommended, but it is not strictly necessary!
Cheers!
